Lessons
Voice, piano, and guitar. Free to the family.
One-on-one lessons over Zoom with a teacher who performs and teaches for a living. A fixed number of lessons each calendar year, at no cost to the student or the family.
What we teach
Four ways in.
-
Voice
A 12-week course in breathing, pitch control, articulation, and performance etiquette, with sessions up to 60 minutes and personal feedback each time.
-
Piano
Beginner and intermediate lessons in scales, chords, and music theory. Weekly sessions are recommended. A keyboard or piano with at least 61 keys is all a student needs.
-
Guitar
Lessons for beginners who have a guitar to practice on. Ask about it on the application and the team will match a teacher.
-
Group classes, coming soon
Class-style voice and instrumental lessons built around ensemble work, in partnership with hospitals, community centers, and after-school programs.
Questions families ask
The short answers.
- Who is eligible?
- Students aged 4 to 18 who want to take music lessons. Wanting it is step one. After the application, an interview with the parent or guardian and the student looks at the financial need.
- When can my student start?
- Applications are read as they come in. A team member schedules a virtual or phone interview, and within a few weeks the family hears the enrollment status and the assigned teacher.
- Where do lessons happen?
- Over Zoom or Skype. In-person lessons are considered case by case. Hospital group sessions are held in person under the hospital’s health and safety rules.
- Can my student take more than one kind of lesson?
- Yes. Each student gets a fixed number of lessons for the calendar year, used at the pace the student and teacher agree on.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. Lessons are free to the student and the family.
- How can we help our student do well?
- Support the gift. A quiet space for a virtual lesson and a family that shares in the progress is most of what a student needs.
